FX-485PC-IF RS485 Interface Unit Hardware Manual
This manual contains text, diagrams and explanations which will guide the reader in the correct installation and operation
of the FX-485PC-IF RS485 Interface Unit. It should be read and understood before attempting to install or use the unit.
Further information can be found in the FX Communication User’s manual.
If in doubt at any stage during the installation of the FX-485PC-IF Interface Unit always consult a professional electrical
engineer who is qualified and trained to the local and national standards.
1. Introduction
The interface unit FX-485PC-IF (hereinafter referred to as “485PC-IF”) can exchange signal of RS232C and RS485
(RS422) for computer link.
*1 Each programmable controller requires
necessary adaptor or unit for suporting
computer link.
For system configuration of computer link,
refer to FX communication user’s manual.
For A series, refer to A series manual.

2. Wiring
Caution for wiring
The terminal screws for the terminal block of the RS485 are M3 screws and therefore the crimp style terminal (see
drawing) suitable for use with these screws should be fitted to the cable for wiring.
The terminal tightening torque is 0.5 to 0.8 Nm (5 to 8 kgf.cm), and tighten securely to avoid malfunction.
2.1 Connecting to a Computer (RS232C)
Note
RS (RTS) and CS (CTS), DR(DSR) and ER (DTR) signals are not used, but are connected inside the 485PC-IF, con-
nect wiring depending on the need of the computer.
2.2 Connecting to a Programmable Controller(s) (RS485/RS422)
2.2.1 Selection of Wiring
Wiring of RS485 is one-pair wiring or two-pair wiring. The wiring method is decided according to the usage. Please select the wir-
ing method from the table below
.
